Rebels in Control have just completed work on two sites for artist Jamie Reid.
Reid's longstanding practice as an artist sits firmly within a tradition of English radical dissent that would include, for example, William Blake, Wat Tyler and Gerrard Winstanley. Like them, the work of dissent must offer, out of necessity, other social and spiritual models and Reid's practice is no exception.
Although Reid is known primarily for the deployment of Situationist strategies in his iconic work for the Sex Pistols and Suburban Press, the manifold strands of his art both continue that work whilst showing us other ways in which we can mobilise our energy and spirituality. It is this dialectic between gnosticism and dissent that lies at the heart of Reid's practice and makes him one of the great English iconoclastic artists.
Alongside www.jamiereid.org, we worked with Jamie and Isis Gallery on www.eightfoldyear.org. Every day for a year a different painting will appear, along with moon phases, saints days, seasonal plants and other festive celebrations.
